COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The Boone County Fire Protection District responded to a single-story house fire Saturday night, around 10:13 p.m., according to a BCFPD Facebook post.

Residents of the home evacuated after hearing smoke alarms go off, and a dog was rescued, according to the post. No one was injured.

Crews arrived on scene about five minutes after the call came in, and found the home's garage on fire, according to the post. Fire fighters were able to put out the fire before it could spread to other area of the home.

In the post, BCFPD reminded people to regularly check that their smoke alarms work.

"Working smoke alarms make a difference. Please test yours regularly," the post reads.

According to the post, three engines, two tankers, one squad, 22 firefighters and a Boone Health ambulance responded to the scene.

Crews are still investigating the cause of the fire.
